In the era when it was still believed that battleships were the epitome of naval power and a sign of a country's strength, this conference led to limitations on the building of such weapons by the naval powers of Britain, the USA and Japan. This collection of essays deals with many aspects of the conference; the factors that caused it, the interests of the participating nations both present and future, and the results. 606 $aDisarmament 606 $aSea-power 606 $aPan-Pacific relations$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aDisarmament. 615 0$aSea-power. 615 0$aPan-Pacific relations$xHistory 676 $a327.1/74/09042 701 $aGoldstein$b Erik$0501241 701 $aMaurer$b John H$0299886 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806296103321 996 $aThe Washington conference, 1921-22$94045224 997 $aUNINA
